Tubi is the best streaming service because it captures the feeling of a video store, but not a corporate video store like Blockbuster, or even a good indie store, but a rundown video rental place under a overpass weeks away from closing down. You’ll find, like, 2001: A Space Odyssey next to a unwatchable copy of a 70s exploitation film and a micro-low-budget indie and a movie called STRIPPER VAMPIRE MASSACRE III but you can find no evidence of STRIPPER VAMPIRE MASSACRE one or two existing.

This is a real, commercial streaming service and they’ve uploaded films with the DVD menu visible for the first few seconds bc it’s a recording of a DVD copy. What a titan in the landscape of streaming

Seeing people say they want it and my friends, Tubi is free to all the people of the world, and by world I mean America, Australia, New Zealand and some of Central America, it’s not anywhere else yet, and it’s banned in the EU. You too can have a professional streaming service that appears to source their movies from bootlegs they bought behind a Circuit City in 1999 & who occasionally uploads a movie with French titles for no clear reason

Also my friends have a podcast called Tubi or Not Tubi where they cover the worst best movies on the platform

i love the ambiguity of zelda and link’s relationship. they are in love. they’re just good friends. they’re married. link just follows zelda around like a puppy and she got attached to him. they’re t4t. they’re work buddies. zelda is in love with link and hes just doing his job. link is in love with zelda and shes just doing her job. they’re soulmates. they’re bound together by their duty to hyrule. they’re bearding for each other

I feel a lot of people have moral systems that are completely detached from centering avoiding real harm to real people and are mostly based on completely arbitrary obsessions with symbolic and abstract “wrongs” and gut feelings, and then they join progressive politics and make an absolute fucking mess out of everything with their weird little moralist obsessions that actually don’t help improve anybody’s life or serve any purpose besides making a few people feel morally superior. This is why for example anti-kink politics went from having a pretense of being about protecting vulnerable women from abusive men to just being very blatantly “if you have ever done kink at all you’re ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew ew”.

I think if you cannot describe the mechanism through which an action brings harm to real people then you probably don’t have an actual argument as to why you consider the action in question to be immoral, and even if you can, you might find some people don’t agree with your definition of harm or find the evidence for the existence of this harm mechanism to be lacking. Secular morality is a lot more complex than a lot of angry social media users might want you to believe it is.

‘being grossed out’ is not the same as being damaged, either. disgust is an emotional concern about hypothetical damage. the gross food might poison you. the gross person might sicken you. the gross behavior might endanger you. it’s just a pop-up alert that you might be in trouble if you continue. it’s just a warning sign. and everyone deserves to deal with that sign on their own.

explaining the concept of “blorbo from my shows” to a tudor era peasant and when i’m finished they grab my hand and start excitedly gesturing at a poster advertising a performance of shakespeare’s hamlet at the globe theatre

*nods thoughtfully and makes a mental note to explain the term “girlboss” next*

[transcript: #this ‘blorbo’ doth please me greatly! hast thou seen the bard’s macbeth? for though lady macbeth did much wrong she didn’t in my heart <3 /end transcript]
